RCB vs CSK LIVE Score, IPL 2026: Virat Kohli and RCB continue their IPL 2026 campaign.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings LIVE Score, IPL 2026: In 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru ended their long inability to travel to Chepauk and beat Chennai Super Kings, winning for the first time since 2008. They went on to win the IPL trophy, their first ever. Tonight’s match in this great rivalry will take place in Bengaluru, but that Chepauk match is an important one to highlight – with three wins in a row, RCB are reversing the narrative of this rivalry, and against a CSK team struggling for form and rhythm, it makes this a match between teams with very different directions of momentum.
CSK enter this match after a season in which they finished last, rooted to the bottom of the table, and then have started off the new campaign by suffering two consecutive losses against first RR then PBKS. It hasn’t been the start to life Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson wanted in conjunction, as CSK continue to find momentum tough to come by.
RCB are the opposite story – they have been the best IPL team of the last two or three years, and now finally have a trophy to show for it. With a confident opening win, RCB have had all week at home to prepare for this contest. They are favourites to win it.

RCB vs CSK LIVE Score: CSK sink to two losses in two matches
RCB vs CSK LIVE Score: After being demolished by a Vaibhav Sooryavanshi storm in Guwahati, back home in Chepauk it was Priyansh Arya and Shreyas Iyer’s turn. In truth, it has been CSK’s batting that has been the weakness: Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad haven’t gotten going, and the inexperience of the middle order has been telling.

RCB vs CSK LIVE Score: RCB started tournament with a win
RCB vs CSK LIVE Score: RCB have only played once this tournament – all the way back on March 28, the first day of the season. It was a confident, capable, uncomplicated win over SRH, with the bowling led by Jacob Duffy restricting them 15-20 runs under par, before the batting was taken home by a dazzling Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli doing what he does best.
Two points on the board – something to build on.
